Phoronix: The 2012 GNOME User Survey Begins, Take It Now

It's time for the annual GNOME User Survey to solicit feedback from Linux desktop users about their views on the GNOME desktop, preferences about Linux desktop features, and other topics. Please take a few minutes to complete this brief survey...

Gnome-Shell animations and overall experience doesn't feel as fluid as OSX and Windows 8 overall experience, even though it's a not so important detail, fluid animations would give users the feel like they are using something that is "complete".

A survey by Gnome 3 haters for Gnome 3 haters... I wonder what the results will be?

As you have listed all the common anti gnome 3 opinions in convenient tick boxes (and non of the positive) perhaps you could do the same with the problems with gnome 2 to help 'advise' the devs to avoid regressions... bad hot keys, inability to search through apps by typing, comparatively weak customization... hell, it's almost as is if gnome 2 was designed with a keyboard free tablet in mind rather than being usable on a real desktop.

Funny, that, isn't it? Gnome Shell gets criticized for being a touch-oriented tablet UI, even though it has *vastly* improved keyboard support over it's predecessor. Most of the oft-cited usability regressions are actually to do with stuff done with the mouse, and are things that would be just as bad on a touch screen.
